This book should appeal to anyone who wishes to be amused and entertained. It may be of particular interest to anybody who is interested in languages – whether as a teacher, a learner – or just as a lover of the fascination of the spoken word.
The book is a comical account of the life of a teacher of English as a foreign language. All the events, all the eccentric characters and above all, their linguistic gaffes are condensed into this eminently readable little book. It has to be among the nicest accounts of the pains and pleasures of teaching – or learning – a foreign language that has ever been compiled.
